A Journey Through Time and Nature

As someone who has traversed the bustling streets of Paris and the chic avenues of Milan, I found myself yearning for a different kind of adventure. The allure of Norway’s untouched landscapes and the promise of a private tour through Nordfjordeid, with its glaciers and sky-high vistas, was irresistible. My partner, a talented Parisian photographer, and I embarked on this journey, eager to capture the raw beauty of the Norwegian wilderness.

Our guide, Myla, was a treasure trove of local knowledge and charm. She whisked us away in a Trollcar, a quirky open-air vehicle, to the majestic Briksdal Glacier. The ride itself was a delightful experience, offering panoramic views of cascading waterfalls and verdant valleys. As we approached the glacier, the air turned crisp, and the sight of the ice flow was nothing short of breathtaking. The path leading to the crystal-clear lake beneath the glacier was a gentle reminder of nature’s grandeur, a stark contrast to the urban landscapes I was accustomed to.

Ascending to New Heights

The highlight of our tour was undoubtedly the SkyLift ride to Mount Joven. As someone who appreciates the finer things in life, the modern gondola was a perfect blend of luxury and adventure. Ascending 1000 meters above sea level, we were treated to a bird’s-eye view of the fjords and mountains, a sight that left us both in awe. The summit offered a serene escape, where we indulged in a sumptuous lunch featuring local delicacies like moose cakes, a culinary experience that was as unique as the landscape itself.

The tranquility of the mountaintop was a stark contrast to the vibrant fashion shows and art galleries I frequent. It was a moment of reflection, a chance to appreciate the simplicity and beauty of nature. My partner captured stunning photographs, each frame telling a story of its own, a testament to the timeless allure of Norway’s landscapes.

Discovering Hidden Gems

Our journey continued through the picturesque village of Olden, a place that seemed untouched by time. Myla’s expertise shone as she guided us to hidden gems, from serene lakes to charming campgrounds. Each stop was an opportunity to immerse ourselves in the local culture and history, a refreshing change from the fast-paced world of fashion and design.

The tour was meticulously planned, with every detail taken care of, allowing us to fully enjoy the experience without the usual travel hassles. As we made our way back to Nordfjordeid, Myla treated us to a delightful serving of Norwegian ice cream, a sweet ending to an unforgettable day.

This private tour was more than just a journey through Norway’s stunning landscapes; it was a reminder of the beauty that lies beyond the runway and the camera lens. For those seeking a blend of luxury and adventure, this tour is an experience not to be missed.
